A

Each of the above mentioned tools are valuable in assessing the collectibility of a firm's accounts receivables. An aging schedule will pinpoint which customers are not paying within terms. An analyst should investigate if a firm is understating allowances for discounts, returns and allowances, as this would overstate receivables. If too much of a firm's sales are made to one or more firm's that are experiencing financial distress, receivables are at risk.
